Juwan Moye takes the opening kick 80 yards and he and Demetrious Fairley score 3 touchdowns a piece as the Trojans roll to a 35-0 halftime score and coast to 41-20 at Smithfield-Selma. Moye and Fairly combine for 257 yard in the half while the stout Trojan (6-0) defense holds SSS to just 61 yards total offense during the period.
After Moyes scores just 13 seconds into the game, SSS turns the ball over on downs, failing on 4th and 1 at the Trojan goal line. Cameron Redd sacks the SSS QB and Garner takes over at their own 1 yard line. It takes just three plays for another Garner score. Fairley sweeps for 8 yards and Moye dashes 53 to the SSS 39. Fairley takes it to the house and Connor Torruella's PAT, 2nd of 5 on the evening, makes it 14-0. The Spartans again show some offense, moving the ball to the Garner 16. Donald Jones is dropped for an 8 yard loss and after two Shane Smith incompletions, 4th and 18 fails and the Trojans take over for the second straight series on downs.
The drive stalls for the only Garner punt of the half, despite a 22 yard Moye run, aided by a terrific block by wideout Seth Council. From their own 34, Redd again drops the SSS back for a two yard loss and two incompletions give the ball back to Garner at their own 37. Fairley bulls his way up the gut for 26 yards. Shaquille Nurriden runs a reverse and a Garner penalty (just two total on the night) brings up 2nd and 8 from the SSS 36. Fairley covers the distance for his second score and its 21-0 with 0:05 to go in the first quarter, dominated by the Trojan front line of Bryan Watkins, JaRod McAllister, Michael Ricks and David Thompson.
The ensuing Spartan drive ends with a 16 yard punt and the Trojans have it first and ten at their own 49. Dwight Darity hits Tyler Thornton for 43 yards to the 8 and Moye covers the final yards on two carries. 28-0 Garner with 10:08 to go in the half. SSS drives to the Garner 14 but incurs a false start and backed up the 19. Andre Gillispie nails Smith for a 3 yard loss and then on 3rd and 18, Watkins hits the SSS QB to cause a fumble Thompson picks up and dashes to the 45. Fairley drives for 18 to the SSS 37 and Moye takes it in from there, running over a SSS defender at the 3 and aided by a textbook block from Brandon Smith. Garner leads 35-0 at the half. Nicholas Martinez and Alan Careaga end the half combining for a sack of the SSS QB.
Daniel Alston ends the first Spartan possession of the second half and returns it to the SSS 10, where Fairley takes it in for a 41-0 Garner lead. The Spartans get on the board when TJ Toney dashes 65 yards for the score. After a SSS pooch kick recovered by Watkins, the Trojan drive ends with a fumbled punt attempt and Dylan Homick takes it in for the Spartan score. Smith's two point run makes it 41-14.
Davonte Atkinson intercepts a SSS pass but a Garner fumble turns it back over to the Spartans at the Garner 2 yard line. SSS scores on the final play of the game for the 41-20 final.
